It should be understood that the terms “system” and “network” are often used interchangeably herein. The term “and/or” in this document is merely an association relationship describing associated objects, indicating that there may be three relationships, for example, A and/or B may indicate three situations: A alone, A and B, and B alone. In addition, the character “/” in this document generally indicates that the objects before and after the character have an “or” relationship.

In the prior art, in order to provide reliability of transmission, a PDCP layer may duplicate data. Specifically, a PDCP split carrier duplication function of the PDCP layer may duplicate a PDCP Service Data Unit (SDU) to obtain a plurality of PDCP PDUs, the plurality of PDCP PDUs have the same payload and the same header, and each PDCP PDU may be referred to as a duplicated data. The plurality of PDCP PDUs may be carried through a plurality of logical channels, but a MAC layer does not know that the data transmitted through the plurality of logical channels are duplicated data, that is, the same data, so when data are scheduled, the MAC layer would not consider scheduling the data in the plurality of logical channels to different carriers for transmission, and therefore, frequency diversity gain cannot be obtained.

In view of this, the implementation of the present disclosure provides a method for transmitting data, which may schedule duplicated data transmitted through a plurality of logical channels to at least two different carriers for transmission, thereby obtaining the frequency diversity gain and further improving the reliability for transmitting data.

FIG. 2 is a schematic flowchart of a method 200 for transmitting data according to an implementation of the present disclosure. The method 200 may be performed by the terminal device 120 or the network device 110 in the communication system 100 described in FIG. 1 . As shown in FIG. 2 , the method 200 includes acts S210-220.

In S210, a plurality of carriers or carrier groups for transmitting duplicated data is determined according to a plurality of logical channels for carrying the duplicated data. Herein at least two logical channels in the plurality of logical channels correspond to different carriers or carrier groups for transmitting the duplicated data.

In S220, the duplicated data carried in the plurality of logical channels are transmitted respectively by using the plurality of carriers or carrier groups.

The method 200 of the implementation of the present disclosure will be described below with a device for transmitting data being an executing body, and the device for transmitting data may be a terminal device or a network device.

Therefore, in the implementation of the present disclosure, the device for transmitting data may determine a plurality of carriers or carrier groups according to a plurality of logical channels carrying duplicated data. Herein at least two logical channels in the plurality of logical channels correspond to different carriers or carrier groups for transmitting the duplicated data, so that the duplicated data may be transmitted through at least two different carriers or carrier groups, thereby obtaining the frequency diversity gain and further improving the reliability of transmission.

Specifically, the device for transmitting data may generate a plurality of duplicated data at a PDCP layer, the plurality of duplicated data are the same, and the plurality of duplicated data may be transmitted through a plurality of logical channels, that is, each logical channel may carry one duplicated data. The device for transmitting data may determine a plurality of carriers or carrier groups according to the plurality of logical channels. In one possible implementation, logical channels and carriers or carrier groups may have a correspondence relationship, so that the device for transmitting data may determine a corresponding plurality of carriers or carrier groups according to a plurality of logical channels carrying the duplicated data and the correspondence relationship. Optionally, the correspondence relationship may be agreed in a protocol, or if the device for transmitting data is a terminal device, the correspondence relationship may be sent to the terminal device by a network device through a high level signaling, and optionally, the high level signaling may be a Radio Resource Control (RRC) signaling.

Optionally, in some implementations, logical channels may have a correspondence relationship with MAC entities. For example, different logical channels may correspond to different MAC entities, and different MAC entities may correspond to different physical layer carriers or carrier groups, so that the device for transmitting data may determine a plurality of MAC entities corresponding to the plurality of logical channels according to the plurality of logical channels carrying the duplicated data and the correspondence relationship between the logical channels and the MAC entities, and further determine a plurality of carriers or carrier groups corresponding to the plurality of MAC entities. Since carriers or carrier groups corresponding to different MAC entities are different, the plurality of carriers or carrier groups are different. Optionally, the correspondence relationship between the logical channels and the MAC entities may be agreed in a protocol, or if the device for transmitting data is a terminal device, the correspondence relationship may be configured by a network device to the terminal device through a high level signaling, and optionally, the high level signaling may be an RRC signaling.

Optionally, the device for transmitting data may determine a plurality of carriers or carrier groups according to indication information corresponding to the plurality of logical channels. For example, the indication information may directly indicate the identities (IDs) of the carriers or carrier groups used for transmitting the duplicated data in the corresponding logical channels, so the device for transmitting data may determine an ID of a carrier or carrier group indicated by each piece of indication information according to the respective indication information corresponding to each logical channel after acquiring the duplicated data in the each logical channel at a MAC layer. Optionally, indication information corresponding to a first logical channel of the plurality of logical channels may indicate identity information of other logical channels than the first logical channel in the plurality of logical channels, so that the device for transmitting data may determine other logical channels that transmit duplicated data together with the first logical channel according to the indication information corresponding to the first logical channel, so that when the device for transmitting data schedules data at a MAC layer, duplicated data carried in the first logical channel and the other logical channels may be scheduled to be transmitted on different carriers or carrier groups, so that the frequency diversity gain may be obtained, and the reliability of transmission may be further improved.

Optionally, in some implementations, the act of determining the plurality of carriers or carrier groups for transmitting the duplicated data according to the plurality of logical channels for carrying the duplicated data includes: determining the plurality of carriers or carrier groups according to respective indication information of each of the plurality of logical channels.

Specifically, a plurality of logical channels for carrying duplicated data may all correspond to corresponding indication information, and the device for transmitting data may determine a plurality of carriers or carrier groups for transmitting duplicated data carried in the plurality of logical channels according to the indication information. Optionally, the respective indication information corresponding to each logical channel may be included in logical channel configuration (LogicalChannelConfig) information corresponding to the each logical channel. Specifically, the logical channel configuration information corresponding to each logical channel may be an RRC Information Element of the each logical channel, and the RRC information element is used for configuring channel parameters of the each logical channel, such as information of a logical channel scheduling priority, and a logical channel group to which it belongs.

Optionally, a new indication field may be added in the logical channel configuration information corresponding to each logical channel to carry the indication information, or the original indication field may be multiplexed to carry the indication information, or a reserved field in the logical channel configuration information may be used for carrying the indication information. Optionally, the respective indication information corresponding to each logical channel may be included in other attribute information of the each logical channel, which is not limited by the implementation of the present disclosure.

Optionally, as one implementation, the indication information includes first indication information corresponding to a first logical channel of the plurality of logical channels, the first indication information is used for indicating a carrier identity (ID) of one carrier or a group of carriers, and the determining the plurality of carriers or carrier groups according to the respective indication information corresponding to each logical channel of the plurality of logical channels, includes: determining that a first carrier corresponding to a carrier ID of one carrier or a first carrier group corresponding to a carrier ID of a group of carriers indicated by the first indication information is a carrier or a carrier group for transmitting the duplicated data carried in the first logical channel; the transmitting the duplicated data carried in the plurality of logical channels respectively by using the plurality of carriers or carrier groups, includes: transmitting the duplicated data carried in the first logical channel by using the first carrier or part or all of carriers in the first carrier group.

Specifically, the indication information of each logical channel may indicate an ID of a carrier or carrier group used for transmitting duplicated data carried in the each logical channel. For example, the plurality of logical channels include a first logical channel, and indication information corresponding to the first logical channel is denoted as first indication information for convenience of distinction and description, and the first indication information may indicate a carrier ID of one carrier or a group of carriers. That is to say, the first indication information may indicate the carrier ID of one or more carriers, and a carrier or carrier group corresponding to the carrier ID of the one or group of carriers may be used for transmitting duplicated data carried in the first logical channel. That is, the carrier or carrier group for transmitting the duplicated data carried in each logical channel may be indicated by the respective indication information corresponding to the each logical channel. Therefore, the device for transmitting data may schedule the duplicated data carried in the plurality of logical channels to be transmitted on at least two different carriers or carrier groups by configuring carriers or carrier groups corresponding to at least two logical channels for transmitting the duplicated data to be different, that is, carriers or carrier groups indicated by the respective indication information corresponding to at least two logical channels are different. For example, the plurality of logical channels include logical channel 1 and logical channel 2, respectively corresponding to indication information 1 and indication information 2. The indication information 1 indicates carrier ID1, and carrier ID1 corresponds to carrier 1. The indication information 2 indicates carrier ID2, and carrier ID2 corresponds to carrier 2. Then duplicated data carried in logical channel 1 and logical channel 2 may be transmitted through carrier 1 and carrier 2, respectively. Therefore, the device for transmitting data may transmit duplicated data through different carriers, thereby obtaining the frequency diversity gain and further improving the reliability of transmitting data.

Therefore, the device for transmitting data may determine a carrier or carrier group for transmitting duplicated data carried in each logical channel according to indication information corresponding to the each logical channel, so that the duplicated data carried in each logical channel may be transmitted on the carrier or carrier group for transmitting the duplicated data corresponding to the each logical channel. Specifically, if the plurality of logical channels include a first logical channel, first indication information corresponding to the first logical channel indicates a carrier ID of one carrier, and the device for transmitting data may transmit duplicated data carried in the first logical channel by using a carrier corresponding to the carrier ID indicated by the first indication information, or if the first indication information indicates a carrier ID of a group of carriers, the device for transmitting data may transmit duplicated data carried in the first logical channel by using part or all of carriers in a first carrier group corresponding to the carrier ID of the group of carriers. It should be understood that in the implementation of the present disclosure, a carrier ID of a group of carriers may be a group ID of one carrier group, or may be carrier IDs of a plurality of carriers, which is not limited in the implementation of the present disclosure.

It should be understood that in the implementation of the present disclosure, the respective indication information corresponding to each of the plurality of logical channels may all indicate a carrier ID of one carrier, or may all indicate a carrier ID of a group of carriers, or indication information corresponding to some logical channels indicates a carrier ID of one carrier, while indication information corresponding to other logical channels indicates a carrier ID of a group of carriers. In this case, it is only required that the carriers or carrier groups indicated by the indication information corresponding to at least two logical channels in the plurality of logical channels are different, so that the device for transmitting data may schedule the duplicated data to be transmitted on different carriers or carrier groups.

Optionally, in some implementations, the indication information includes second indication information corresponding to a second logical channel of the plurality of logical channels, the second indication information is identity information of other logical channels than the second logical channel in the plurality of logical channels, and the act of determining the plurality of carriers or carrier groups according to the respective indication information corresponding to each logical channel of the plurality of logical channels includes: determining that the duplicated data carried in the second logical channel and the other logical channels respectively correspond to different carriers or carrier groups according to the second indication information. The act of transmitting the duplicated data carried in the plurality of logical channels respectively by using the plurality of carriers or carrier groups includes: transmitting the duplicated data carried in the second logical channel and the other logical channels respectively by using the different carriers or carrier groups.

Specifically, the plurality of logical channels may include a second logical channel, and indication information corresponding to the second logical channel is denoted as second indication information for convenience of distinction and description, and the second indication information may indicate identity information of other logical channels than the second logical channel in the plurality of logical channels. Therefore, the device for transmitting data may determine, according to the second indication information, which logical channels are used for transmitting duplicated data, then the duplicated data carried in these logical channels may be scheduled to be transmitted on different carriers in a MAC layer, so that the frequency diversity gain may be obtained, and the reliability of transmitting data is further improved. For example, the plurality of logical channels include logical channel 1 and logical channel 2, and corresponding logical channels are identified as LC1 and LC2 respectively, then indication information corresponding to logical channel 1 may indicate LC2, and indication information corresponding to logical channel 2 may indicate LC1, so that the device for transmitting data may know that the two logical channels are used for transmitting duplicated data, and then duplicated data in the two logical channels may be scheduled to be transmitted on different carriers, so that the frequency diversity gain may be obtained, and the reliability of transmission is further improved.

That is, respective indication information corresponding to each logical channel may directly indicate a carrier or carrier group used for transmitting duplicated data carried in the each logical channel, so that the device for transmitting data may directly schedule the duplicated data carried in each logical channel according to the carrier or carrier group indicated by the indication information of the each logical channel. Or the respective indication information corresponding to each logical channel may indicate identity information of a logical channel that transmits duplicated data together with the each logical channel, so that the device for transmitting data may determine which different carriers or carrier groups to schedule the duplicated data carried in each logical channel for transmission at a MAC layer.

Optionally, in some implementations, the indication information includes third indication information corresponding to a third logical channel of the plurality of logical channels, the third indication information is used for indicating whether the duplicated data is carried in the third logical channel, and the determining the plurality of carriers or carrier groups according to the respective indication information corresponding to each logical channel of the plurality of logical channels, includes: determining that the duplicated data carried in the third logical channel and a fourth logical channel respectively correspond to different carriers or carrier groups if the third indication information indicates that the duplicated data is carried and fourth indication information corresponding to the fourth logical channel indicates that the duplicated data is carried; the transmitting the duplicated data carried in the plurality of logical channels respectively by using the plurality of carriers or carrier groups, includes: transmitting the duplicated data carried in the third logical channel and the fourth logical channel respectively by using the different carriers or carrier groups.

If the device for transmitting data determines that the third indication information indicates that the duplicated data is carried, and the indication information corresponding to the fourth logical channel also indicates that the duplicated data is carried, the device for transmitting data may schedule the duplicated data carried in the third logical channel and the fourth logical channel to be transmitted on different carriers, thus obtaining the frequency diversity gain and further improving the reliability of transmission.

Optionally, in some implementations, before the determining the plurality of carriers or carrier groups according to respective indication information of each of the plurality of logical channels, the method further includes: determining that there is an indication field including the indication information in logical channel configuration information of the each logical channel.

Specifically, in a MAC layer, the device for transmitting data may firstly determine whether there is an indication field for carrying the indication information in the logical channel configuration information corresponding to each logical channel. If there is the indication field, the device for transmitting data may schedule duplicated data carried in the plurality of logical channels to different carriers or carrier groups for transmission according to the method described in the above implementation, otherwise, the device for transmitting data may schedule the data carried in the plurality of logical channels according to a scheduling method in the prior art.

Optionally, in some implementations, the determining the plurality of carriers or carrier groups for transmitting the duplicated data according to the plurality of logical channels for carrying the duplicated data, includes: determining a plurality of media access control (MAC) entities according to the plurality of logical channels and a first correspondence relationship, wherein the first correspondence relationship is a correspondence relationship between logical channels and MAC entities, and the plurality of logical channels and the plurality of MAC entities correspond one to one; determining the plurality of carriers or carrier groups according to the plurality of MAC entities and a second correspondence relationship, wherein the second correspondence relationship is a correspondence relationship between MAC entities and carriers or carrier groups, and the plurality of MAC entities and the plurality of carriers or carrier groups correspond one to one.

Specifically, the logical channels and the MAC entities may have a first correspondence relationship, and the first correspondence relationship may be a one-to-one correspondence relationship, i.e., the logical channels and the MAC entities are one-to-one corresponding, therefore, the device for transmitting data may determine a plurality of MAC entities according to the plurality of logical channels and the first correspondence relationship. Different MAC entities correspond to different carriers or carrier groups, that is, MAC entities and carriers or carrier groups may have a second correspondence relationship, which may be a one-to-one correspondence relationship or a one-to-many correspondence relationship, that is, one MAC entity may correspond to one carrier or carrier group, or one MAC entity may correspond to a plurality of carriers or carrier groups. Therefore, the device for transmitting data may determine a plurality of carriers or carrier groups according to the plurality of MAC entities and the second correspondence relationship, and then the device for transmitting data may transmit duplicated data carried in the plurality of logical channels through the plurality of carriers or carrier groups.

Optionally, in some implementations, the first correspondence relationship is preconfigured by a high layer signaling.

Specifically, if the device for transmitting data is a terminal device, the first correspondence relationship may be preconfigured to the terminal device by a network device through a high level signaling, or the first correspondence relationship may be agreed between the terminal device and the network device, or the first correspondence relationship may be specified in a protocol. If the device for transmitting data is a network device, the first correspondence relationship may be preconfigured by the network device, or agreed between the network device and the terminal device, or the first correspondence relationship may be specified in a protocol.

Optionally, in the implementation of the present disclosure, the duplicated data is duplicated data obtained by duplicating the same packet data convergence protocol (PDCP) protocol data unit (PDU) by a PDCP split carrier.

In other words, the duplicated data may be a plurality of duplicated PDCP PDUs that a PDCP split carrier duplicates the same PDCP PDU to be, each of the plurality of duplicated PDCP PDUs may be referred to as a duplicated data, and each duplicated PDCP PDU has the same content, i.e., the same payload and header. In a RLC layer, the plurality of duplicated data are mapped onto a plurality of logical channels, that is, the plurality of duplicated data are respectively transmitted through the plurality of logical channels.

That is to say, which logical channels are to be used for transmitting duplicated data may be preconfigured through a high layer signaling, and when there is data transmission on these logical channels, the data transmitted on these logical channels may be considered as duplicated data. Optionally, the high layer signaling is an RRC signaling.

The method for transmitting data according to the implementation of the present disclosure will be described with reference to a specific example below. As shown in FIG. 3 , a PDCP split carrier duplication function module of a PDCP layer may duplicate PDCP SDU1 into two PDCP PDU1s, the two PDCP PDU1s include the same data and header. In a RLC layer, the two PDCP PDU1s are respectively mapped to RLC logical channel 1 and RLC logical channel 2. In one possible implementation, RRC information element of LogicalChannelConfig of each logical channel includes indication information indicating a carrier ID. For example, indication information corresponding to the RLC logical channel 1 indicates a carrier ID1 corresponding to carrier 1, the carrier 1 corresponds to HARQ entity 1 of a MAC layer, and indication information corresponding to the RLC logical channel 2 indicates a carrier ID2 corresponding to a carrier 2, and the carrier 2 corresponds to HARQ entity 2 of the MAC layer. Therefore, the device for transmitting data may schedule the two PDCP PDU1s to be transmitted on the carrier 1 and carrier 2. As another example, the indication information corresponding to the RLC logical channel 1 indicates carrier ID1, carrier ID2, and carrier ID3, respectively corresponding to carrier 1, carrier 2, and carrier 3, and the indication information corresponding to the RLC logical channel 2 indicates carrier ID4, carrier ID5, and carrier ID6, corresponding to carrier 4, carrier 5, and carrier 6. Therefore, the device for transmitting data may select a carrier for transmitting PDCP PDU1 in the RLC logical channel 1 among carrier 1, carrier 2, and carrier 3, i.e., transmit PDCP PDU1 in the RLC logical channel 1 on at least one of carrier 1, carrier 2, and carrier 3, and similarly, select a carrier for transmitting PDCP PDU1 in the RLC logical channel 2 among carrier 4, carrier 5, and carrier 6, i.e., transmit PDCP PDU1 in the RLC logical channel 2 on at least one of carrier 4, carrier 5, and carrier 6.

Optionally, in another possible implementation, indication information of each logical channel indicates an ID of a logical channel. Indication information of the RLC logical channel 1 in FIG. 3 may indicate LC2, for the RCL logical channel 2, and indication information of the RLC logical channel 2 may indicate LC1, for the RCL logical channel 1, that is, the RLC logical channel 1 and the RLC logical channel 2 are used for transmitting duplicated data. Therefore, the device for transmitting data may schedule duplicated data carried in the RLC logical channel 1 and the RCL logical channel 2 to be transmitted on different carriers. For example, the duplicated data carried in the RLC logical channel 1 and the RCL logical channel 2 may be scheduled to be transmitted on carrier 1 and carrier 2 respectively.
